Andy Burnham has called for an investigation into the influence of Russian money in British politics.
Speaking as Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich became the latest oligarch subjected to sanctions by the UK following the invasion of Ukraine, the Mayor said he '100 per cent' agreed that there should be an inquiry.
Mr Burnham, speaking on his weekly BBC Radio Manchester phone-in, said: "There is a lot more here that I think people just don't know about the influence of Russian oligarchs and their money, perhaps in all sides of politics, but particularly on one side, which happened to be the governing side."
